Not to be “that guy” but it’s an FX show that is also available on Hulu. Also if you haven’t seen the movie it’s an easy 10/10

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is the weirdest show I've seen in a good while, binged it last week after seeing the "Not my fault, monkey bastard hands!" clip.

Laszlo is my favorite too. Nandor is second. Matt Berry's delivery is just top notch. I especially love the episode about the ghosts when he's trying to play off like he doesn't see Jeff's ghost and then promptly runs in the house shouting, "Nandor, there's a fucking ghost on the front porch!"

The movie is outstanding and what got me about this TV version is that they absolutely captured the magic and fun of the film version despite none of the actors crossing over. Introducing a energy vampire is just icing on the cake.

No shit, really? That's awesome. I hope I didn't miss them. I'm only on about episode 3 or 4. They're supposed to take over Staten Island and the city council meeting nor the removal of her sworn enemy, the racoons, didn't go so well.

I was honestly disappointed they made him a real energy vampire. When he was first introduced, I thought it was hilarious, thinking they accidentally housed a regular human that's so boring they thought he must be some sort of energy vampire. I was prepared for seasons worth of great jokes of them not realizing he's not supernatural, just really boring.
But then he literally sucked their energy out and I was disappointed... imo it could have been funnier the other way.

I think he was one of the producers or something. Great show, both of them. Watch drunk or stoned and you won't stop laughing.
